Quick Facts

Lead Engineer, Systems Applications – Power Solutions

Description

Lead Engineer, Systems Applications focused on defining end-to-end power architectures and scalable power solution strategies for aerospace, defence, and communications systems. Translate customer and market requirements into power trees, reference architectures, evaluation plans, and product feedback, and support architecture/application reviews to ensure solutions are practical, differentiated, manufacturable, supportable, and aligned with portfolio direction.

Responsibilities

• Define end-to-end power architectures covering conversion, distribution, protection, isolation, sequencing, telemetry, efficiency, thermal performance, EMI/EMC, reliability, and control
• Translate customer and market requirements into solution proposals, power trees, reference architectures, evaluation plans, and trade-off analyses
• Support architecture and application reviews for strategic opportunities
• Partner with product, systems, applications, marketing, business development, sales, field teams, and customers to identify requirements and resolve technical questions
• Create reusable technical collateral including design guides, simulations, evaluation concepts, reference design inputs, training material, and customer presentations
• Capture insights from customer engagements, evaluations, competitive activity, and design-in support to inform product planning, solution strategy, and field enablement
• Communicate technical findings, trade-offs, and application impact through documentation, reviews, workshops, and presentations

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field required (Master’s degree/PhD or equivalent advanced experience preferred)
• Strong understanding of power conversion, distribution, protection, isolation, thermal trade-offs, transient response, EMI/EMC, reliability, safety, and system design constraints
• 7+ years of relevant experience defining or influencing system-level power requirements (e.g., drones, robotics, phased-array radar, satellite communications, or related advanced platforms)
• Background as a systems architect, power designer, or lead systems designer with ability to move between detailed design and high-level system trade-offs
• Highly valuable: experience with low-voltage, high-current power applications in mixed-signal systems
• Strong communication skills and customer presence; willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed
• Hands-on familiarity with lab tools (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum or network analyzers) and software such as Python or LabVIEW

Benefits

• Medical, vision and dental coverage
• 401k
• Paid vacation, holidays, and sick time
• Discretionary performance-based bonus
